For plumbing shops

A leak at 10 PM shouldn't cost you the job.

Homeowners with water on the floor call until someone answers. Ava answers every call, marks leaks and backups urgent with the address and a callback number, and books drains, toilets and faucets into real open times.

A routine call

Caller · 9:48 AM

My kitchen sink is draining really slowly. It's gotten worse all week.

Ava

Sorry about that. Is any water backing up or overflowing right now?

Caller

No, it just drains slow.

Ava

Okay. I can have a plumber there tomorrow at 10. Does that work?
